Thou Shalt Not Stop Being Cute

That’s what BuzzFeed’s Eric Harris said in response to OMMA Native chair Steve Smith’s follow-up question, asking him whether there are any signs yet of cute content wearing out.

“Is there cute fatigue yet,” Smith asked.

“I don’t think so,” Harris said, immediately shifting the conversation from cuteness to another form of BuzzFeed gospel: Listicles.

“Lists which are the big part of what we do have been around a long time ,” he said, adding, “from the Ten Commandments.”

In closing, Smith quipped that Harris’ presentation has “already got me thinking about how Moses’ Ten Commandments would look on BuzzFeed.” Never mind Smith’s misattribution (I believe someone else wrote those commandments, and Moses was merely the newsfeed for them), he did offer a memorable rendition of said commandments: “The 10 Things You Should Do If You want To Get Into Heaven.”
